***

Die 18. Ausgabe von POOL präsentiert eine Auswahl inspirierender Tanzfilmproduktionen und ist Treffpunkt für Künstler*innen aus Tanz, Film und Musik sowie der Kunst- und Modeszene.
Der Fokus des Festivals liegt auf Filmen, die aus dem engen Zusammenspiel filmischer und tänzerischer Bewegung eigenständige Filmchoreographien entstehen lassen – kritische Reflexionen, Resonanzen und Imaginationen mittels Körper und Bewegung auf der Leinwand.
